On January 3, 1933, exactly 82 years ago, the French ocean liner "L" Atlantique "fell victim to fire. The liner was launched in 1930 and with its 40,945 gross tonnage was the 3rd largest in France and 12th in the world; the liner was intended to work with the ports of the east coast South America (sailed from French Bordeaux to Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Montevideo and Buenos Aires) and until the appearance in the late 1950s of the ships Oriana and Canberra This was the largest non-North Atlantic passenger ship. The liner entered its maiden voyage on September 29, 1931.

At the time of its sinking, the L "Atlantique" was one of the most luxurious ships in the world. The interiors of the liner were decorated in the Art Deco style - in this the creators of "L" Atlantique »Imitated another French liner -"Ile de Franc".

First class cabins

The famous "Rue de Atlantic" became the central, axial place of the liner -a kind of street, 140 meters long and 6 meters wide, where the stalls of the most fashionable Parisian shops and salons were located.

But "L" Atlantique "is equal like another famous French liner of the 1930s,SS "Normandie" - did not surf the Atlantic for a short time. On January 3, 1933, during transportation from Bordeaux to Le Havre for scheduled repairs, the ship suddenly caught fire, the crew of 200 people (of whom 18 died in that fire) failed to save the ship. The charred wreck of the ship was later transported to Cherbourg, where this once super-luxurious liner was scrapped.
It was not possible to find out the cause of the fire. According to one versionthe ship was destroyed by competitors - then British, Italian and German shipping companies fought fiercely for dominance on the European-South American route, and the appearance of a fourth strong rival, and even at the height of the Great Depression, none of them wanted. According to another versionthe ship was burned by the owner himself, who received insurance for it in 170 million francs: this slow-moving giant had no commercial success, and the insurance premium allowed the company "Compagnie de Navigation Sude Atlantique"avoid bankruptcy. Anyway, the mystery of doom"L" Atlantique "remained unsolved.
